"Now that Zilanxuan has opened successfully, things here are almost over. When will you come back home with me?"
Zi Nu and Nong Yu were startled by Bai Yuan and patted his hand angrily.
Then Zi Nu thought for a while and replied:
"In a few days, when Zilanxuan's business is on track, I will follow you."
Nongyu also nodded: "I'll wait for sister Zinu."
Although Bai Yuan was helpless after hearing this, he did not urge him and agreed softly.
"OK then!"
After being cozy with the two of them for a while, Bai Yuan also left Zilanxuan with Ning Yan and others, and went back to his house to rest.
In the next few days, in addition to going to Zilanxuan for a short period of time every day, Bai Yuan also went to check how Xiaomeng's [Chunyang Buxu] was doing from time to time, and also taught Duanmu Rong new martial arts.
Although Bai Yuan had never thought about asking Duan Murong to do anything like killing, not to mention anything else, just to prolong his life, he also wanted Duan Murong to improve her cultivation level.
After all, he has broken through the realm of unity between man and nature and has a long life span of more than a hundred years.
Although a hundred years later is still far away for him, Bai Yuan definitely doesn't want anything sad to happen by then.
In addition, cultivation itself is not something that can be accomplished overnight. What is required is long-term persistence and accumulation of water.
So naturally the sooner you start, the better.
When Nian Duan learned about this, he was very happy and supported Duan Murong to study hard with Bai Yuan.
In the past few days, besides going to see Thieves Zhi as usual, Nianduan spent the rest of his time studying the spiritual herbs and elixirs here in Baiyuan.
As a master medical doctor, Nianduan thought that he had seen a lot of herbal medicines.
But she has really never seen any of the elixirs here in Baiyuan.
Therefore, Nianduan has become very interested in these elixirs and can’t wait to study clearly what these elixirs do, what their medicinal properties are, what diseases they can be used to treat, etc...
Bai Yuan was not stingy with such a small amount of elixir, so he went to study it with Sui Nian Duan.
These elixirs have almost no other effect except for refining elixirs. If they can help Nian Duan improve his medical skills, that would be great.
After all, Nian Duan was both a teacher and a mother to Duan Murong. In total, she was half of Bai Yuan's mother-in-law. She was by no means an advantage to outsiders.
On the other side, the envoys sent by the State of Yan to ask for help from the State of Qin finally arrived in Xianyang after traveling day and night and successfully met Ying Zheng.
The envoys of the State of Yan described the current situation of the State of Yan to Ying Zheng and elaborated on the idea of forming an alliance to attack the State of Zhao.
And Ying Zheng agreed after some careful consideration.
On the one hand, the attitude of Yan State was very sincere this time. Not only did it send many gifts, it even prepared to send Yan Dan over as a hostage after forming an alliance. It looked like a dog licker, which made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
On the other hand, Ying Zheng also intends to attack Zhao State. If he forms an alliance with Yan State, he will not only stabilize Yan State, but also use Yan State to hold Zhao State back, which will be of great benefit to Da Qin.
These were also discussed and approved by the court ministers.
After deciding to form an alliance with Yan, Ying Zheng discussed with the ministers the attack on Zhao.
There was almost no suspense about the choice of the general to defeat Zhao, and it fell on Meng Ao.
But in addition to the general Meng Ao, there are other positions that need to be discussed.
After several days of discussion, it was finally decided that Meng Ao and Zhang Tang would lead 50,000 troops to attack Zhao.
Mrs. Han heard the news somewhere and thought it was a good opportunity, so she ran to beg the Queen Mother Xia to come forward and let Ying Zheng give Cheng Yu a chance.
Although Cheng Yu was named the Lord of Chang'an, he did not have a fief. Mrs. Han wanted to take this opportunity to let Cheng Yu perform meritorious service, obtain a fief, and then stay away from Xianyang.
Queen Mother Xia agreed to the matter after hesitating for a while.
Ying Zheng respected the Queen Mother Xia very much.
Queen Mother Xia spoke, and Ying Zheng naturally agreed.
Ying Zheng himself was actually pretty good to Cheng Yu, his half-brother, and Cheng Yu was not a good-for-nothing noble who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, but a very capable young master of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Ying Zheng arranged for Cheng Yu to lead an army of 50,000 as backup for Meng Ao and Zhang Tang in case of any eventuality.
If there were no accidents, Cheng Yu might even just go on vacation. Even if there was a problem in the frontline war and he needed support, he would be taken care of by veteran military generals such as Meng Ao and Zhang Tang, who could keep him safe.
It can be said that Cheng Xiang purely went for gold plating this time.
After this royal order, sure enough, everyone in the court understood Ying Zheng's intention almost immediately, but no one came out to say anything.
Even Meng Ao, the general in charge of attacking Zhao this time, did not show any dissatisfaction.
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Changping couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing the report from his subordinates.
"The plan went really well. I didn't expect Mrs. Han to fall for the bait so easily."
"Let someone notify Fan Yuqi and let him act as planned."
Following the order of Lord Changping, a man in black soon left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to look for Fan Yuqi, who would be responsible for the backup work this time with Cheng Yu.
Chang Pingjun looked at the chessboard in front of him, holding a black stone in his hand.
"I think I'm still complacent about the benefits, but I don't know that there is an abyss ahead. This is the best time to uproot the entire Korean force!"
Obviously, letting Cheng Xi go on the expedition was a situation deliberately promoted by Lord Changping.
The purpose is naturally to seize power.
Since the Lao Ai Incident, the Zhao family's relatives' forces headed by Zhao Ji have lost power. The original three major foreign relatives' forces within Da Qin were suddenly reduced to the Chu family's forces headed by the Queen Mother Huayang and the Korean forces headed by the Queen Mother Xia's.
Changping Jun was from the Chu faction, so he naturally did not get along with the Han faction. He had always wanted to overthrow the Han faction and allow the Chu faction to have more say in the Qin court.
Chapter 446 Why should the next Jinghu Medical Village be Jinghu Medical Village?
The news that Qin intended to attack Zhao spread quickly and also reached Bai Yuan's ears.
Originally, this matter was nothing big.
It was common for the Qin Dynasty to attack Zhao or Wei. As long as it had nothing to do with him, Bai Yuan had no intention of interfering.
However, when Bai Yuan learned from Han Fei that Ying Zheng had also sent Cheng Jiao and Fan Yuqi as follow-up support, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Cheng Jiao + Fan Yuqi =?
A terrible guess suddenly appeared in Bai Yuan's mind.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Because almost everyone can see that Cheng Jiao led his troops into battle this time mostly for the purpose of gilding his reputation and gaining some military merit so that he could legitimately obtain a fiefdom.
This was an opportunity that Queen Mother Xia had specifically requested for him.
Ying Zheng had suffered betrayal from his biological mother Zhao Ji before. Although it was Zhao Ji's passive betrayal, it still left some resentment in Ying Zheng.
Therefore, while Ying Zheng became more sensitive, he also cherished the good family relationships that he still had.
He reused Changping Jun and Changwen Jun from the Chu faction, and treated Cheng Jiao from the Han faction like an elder brother to his younger brother.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given such a good opportunity.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, Bai Yuan should not have to worry that Cheng Jiao would rebel as he did in history, because doing so would do Cheng Jiao no good but only harm.
There is no possibility for him to succeed, and the consequences of failure will not be borne by him alone.
As long as Cheng Jiao is not stupid, he would never do such a thing.
In addition, although Cheng Jiao has the title of leader, in reality the army may not necessarily listen to him. After all, he was parachuted in to gain experience.
Although he has the title of Chang'an Jun, when it comes to leading troops into battle to kill the enemy, he is definitely not as good as the generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round.
But it happened that the person sent to assist Cheng Jiao this time was Fan Yuqi. Just the name made Bai Yuan feel that something was going to happen.
However, this time there are no traces like the last time when Lao Ai rebelled and the five countries formed an alliance. Judging from the current situation, only Bai Yuan has this premonition unilaterally, and the probability of Cheng Jiao's rebellion is not high.
If he was worrying too much, it would be a serious slander against Cheng Jiao.
Ning Yan and the others keenly noticed that Bai Yuan was a little worried after learning that Cheng Jiao was going to go on an expedition, so they asked with concern: "Did something happen?"
When Bai Yuan heard Ning Yan ask this, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"Not really, I just have a bad guess."
He told several people about his premonition.
Ning Yan frowned slightly after hearing this: "My husband, why do you have to worry about this kind of thing? Whether Cheng Jiao rebels or not, it has nothing to do with us, right?"
When Bai Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled, took Ning Yan's hand, pulled her into his arms, and gently pinched her face.
"You're right."
As long as it doesn't threaten Ying Zheng's life or the general situation in the world, Bai Yuan doesn't really care.
It would have been fine if Cheng Jiao did not rebel. If he really rebelled, it would only cause some trouble for Ying Zheng.
Not long after, the army to attack Zhao set out.
Upon hearing the news of the army's march, Duanmu Rong seemed a little depressed and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Bai Yuan gently rubbed Duanmu Rong's hair.
"Why are you sighing for no reason?"
Duan Mu Rong pursed her lips and leaned on Bai Yuan's chest: "The Qin State has started another war. I don't know how many people will die and how many people will be displaced because of this."
As a doctor, Duanmu Rong is kind and compassionate, and she knows very well how cruel war is.
During those years when she and her master traveled around, they saw many villages turned into ruins due to war, people who had left their homes, and helpless children.
Those scenes still appear before her eyes at this moment.
Bai Yuan patted Duan Mu Rong's back slowly and comforted her: "Don't think so much. It's not your fault. You just need to do what you can and don't force yourself."
Duanmu Rong buried her head in Bai Yuan's arms and hummed softly.
Nian Duan watched this scene from a distance and couldn't help but nod.
She does not have the compassion for the world like Duanmu Rong.
Doctors have two options for the future: one is to study hard, write books and biographies for future generations to admire and teach; the other is to benefit the people, save the dying and the wounded, and save thousands of lives with their skillful hands.
The former is safe, the latter is dangerous.
The former practices medicine, and the latter practices medicine with all his heart.
Nianduan chose the former, or rather, preferred the former.
Because it is difficult for doctors to protect themselves in troubled times, writing books and biographies, passing on unique medical knowledge and preventing the medical lineage from being extinct is even more important to Nian Duan. It is also a way to stay away from disputes and protect himself.
Nian Duan has always understood that human power is limited, and no matter how skilled a person is in medicine, she cannot save everyone in the world.
How many people can a doctor save in his entire life?
However, there are many ways to save lives. Ignoring the troubles of the outside world, studying medicine in depth, and writing books to pass them down to future generations is also a medical path, and it is a method that can save more people.
Because the medical tradition is passed down, there will be new doctors, or even more doctors, in the future, so naturally more people can be saved.
But if the medical lineage is cut off, even if she can save thousands of people, what will happen after she dies?
Because of this, Nian Duan prefers to retreat from the world and leave behind his life-saving medical skills for the people of the world, so that they can be passed down from generation to generation and never die out.
But the little apprentice she accepted had a different personality from her and was too kind.
Duanmu Rong is obviously more inclined to the latter.
If such a doctor lived in a prosperous era, he would definitely become a famous doctor known throughout the world and respected by everyone.
But this is a time of chaos, and Duanmu Rong's kindness can easily put her in danger.
Fortunately, she now has a strong enough backer who can help her, otherwise Nian Duan would have to worry about what Duan Murong would do in the future.
"With Bai Yuan protecting Rong'er and guiding her, I, as her master, should feel relieved."
Nian Duan had just let out a sigh when he caught a glimpse of Bai Yuan teasing his little disciple again. He didn't know what he said, but he made Duan Mu Rong blush and feel shy.
Nian Duan immediately clenched his fists, feeling as if his daughter was being bullied by a pig.
After hesitating for a while, Nian Duan finally did not go forward to disturb the two of them. After all, Duanmu Rong was in a bad mood just now, and it was Bai Yuan who was very capable and comforted her in no time.
The two of them didn't do anything excessive at this moment, at least Nian Duan didn't see it.
So Nian Duan, thinking out of sight, out of mind, went back to the house to continue studying his herbs.
Yesterday she accidentally discovered that Bai Yuan had a herb that seemed to have a special effect on treating epilepsy, so she was preparing to boil a dose of medicine and give it to Dao Zhi to try.
